And what do they do if so?

Most schools in our area don't have study leave so students are in class every day until at least the exams start. Then they ight be allowed to not come in on non exam days. Once exams finish that is it apart from perhaps a Leavers Assembly or Prom. The official finish date is the last Friday in June.

There might be an Induction day at whatever school/college they may be moving onto.

Thanks all - I grew up in Scotland, so I hadn’t really considered this.

5th year in Scotland is equivalent to the the 1st year of 6th form in England btw.

I agree that this year is tough, so a nice long break sounds good 🙂.
